Mindfulness in Relationship: The Power of the Shared Human Experience

Last June, Family Action Network (FAN) offered a powerful 5-day meditation retreat taught by Gregory Kramer, Ph.D., the developer of the relational meditation practice Insight Dialogue and the Founder and Guiding Teacher of Metta Programs. Dr. Kramer has taught ID and dharma contemplation retreats in North America, Asia, Europe and Australia since 1995, and insight meditation since 1980. Dr. Kramer returns to our area for 3 very different events – a public talk, a one-day retreat, and a 2-day non-residential retreat – and the goal is to facilitate an exploration of the forces of meditation, wisdom, and relationships. It can be socioeconomically unsustainable for many to attend longer residential retreats, so this concept allows for more to learn about the “power of the shared human experience.”
